The cruel reality-failure, struggle, struggle, failure, like an endless loop, haunting every little character body. It keeps breaking everyone's heart, and even destroying every family that can't bear it.

My mother is still my mother, a hard-working housewife, and my father still goes to the department store to clean up every day, and life still only meets the needs of basic food and clothing.

More importantly, just believe this, it's not too late to start now!
